Hello from a new user...

I've got a couple of instrumented classfiles - the classfiles were made reflective and are being loaded by JBoss's standard classloader. Their relationship is something like this (simplified, of course):

public class A {
 private SomeClass x;
 public A() {
 getX().someMethod();
 }
 public SomeClass getX() {
 return x;
 }
}

public class B extends A {
}

I'm hitting a NullPointerException in the Metaobject class during construction of an instance of B. The call stack looks something like this:

 Metaobject.trapMethodcall()
 A._added_m$0()
 A.getX()
 A.<init>
 B.<init>

The trapMethodcall() is throwing a NullPointerException because the methods[] array is not yet initialized - as we would expect during the constructor call. But this breaks the accessor.

In case it's relevant, I didn't build the classfile by running javassist.reflect.Compiler, but I copied the compiler's logic - making the class reflective with Reflection.makeReflective() and Reflection.onLoad(), then writing the resulting classfiles.

Any insights about what I'm doing wrong?
